Is it OK to eat 6 eggs a day?

Six eggs a day is a hell of a lot, no matter how you cut it. An egg has 187 mg of cholesterol, and the recommended limit is 300 mg per day—or only 200 mg if you have diabetes or risk factors for heart disease. “You can definitely go with with one egg a day,” says Maxine Smith, R.D., L.D.

Q: “Is there such a thing as too many whole eggs or egg yolks? I know they contain cholesterol, but I’m currently eating six a day while cutting.” Answer: Whoa, there! Six eggs a day is a hell of a lot, no matter how you cut it. An egg has 187 mg of cholesterol, and the recommended limit is 300 mg per day—or only 200 mg if you have diabetes or risk factors for heart disease. “You can definitely go with with one egg a day,” says Maxine Smith, R.D., L.D. a dietician at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition. “Though if you’re high risk, limit yourself to two per week.” Note that we’re talking about yolks here. You can have unlimited egg whites, which are mostly protein (and not a whole lot else). Egg yolks have undergone a renaissance in the nutrition mindset, thanks to extensive research suggesting that egg yolks really aren’t to blame for high levels of cholesterol. The recommendation is still to be conservative, says Smith, because some people have an outsized response to dietary cholesterol. “But we don’t know who those people are,” she explains. And if you are also eating a diet high in saturated fat, the cholesterol in eggs can have a more profound effect on your bad “LDL” cholesterol levels. Eating the same foods day after day may help you maintain your weight. “It’s about limiting choices,” explains Smith. But it’s better to have variety in your diet, so if you are going to consume an egg every day, have it with salsa, or with spinach and wheat toast. And if you need to cut back on eggs? Try another type of breakfast that contains a range of foods you can repeat day after day—like oatmeal with mixed berries and milk—and turn to other lean sources of protein, like grilled chicken, fish, black beans, and nut butters.

Does drinking water increase hemoglobin?

In conclusion, a steady intake of water may reduce anemia and CVD risk by increasing hemoglobin synthesis and decreasing MPV; it may also enhance humoral immunity by increasing IgG levels.

물은 생체에 필수적인 성분이고 많은 생리학적 과정에 관련되어 있음에도 불구하고 물을 꾸준히 충분하게 섭취하는 것이 혈액 성분에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 13명의 정상 성인에게 물을 섭취하게 한 후에 혈액학적, 고감도 C 반응성 단백질(hs-CRP), 면역글로불린 G (IgG)의 변화를 측정하였다. 4명의 대조군은 물을 자유롭게 마시게 하였고 9명의 실험군은 시판되는 생수를 매일 2 L씩 마시게 하였다. 2주 후에 혈액을 채취하여 검사한 결과, 혈구 세포 수, 적혈구 용적률, 혈색소 수치는 증가했지만 유의성은 없었다( p >0.05). 그러나 평균 혈색소량(MCH)과 평균 혈색소 농도(MCHC)는 각각 의미 있게 증가하였고( p <0.05, p <0.01), 평균 혈소판 용적(MPV)은 의미 있게 감소하였다( p <0.05). 심혈관 질환의 표지자로 쓰이는 면역학적인 검사항목인 hs-CRP는 물 섭취 후에 감소하는 것으로 나타났으나 유의한 차이는 없었다( p >0.05). 그러나 IgG의 농도는 물 섭취 전에 비해 상당히 유의성 있게 증가하는 결과를 나타냈다( p <0.05). 결론적으로, 꾸준히 충분하게 물을 섭취하면 혈색소 수치가 증가하여 빈혈이 완화될 수 있고 혈소판 활성과 hs-CRP가 감소하여 심혈관 질환의 위험을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 체액성 면역 성분이 증가하여 면역 기능이 향샹될 수 있다.
